Principals and/or network administrators shall not require that teachers submit separate unit and lesson plans.

The organization, format, notation and other physical aspects of and the instructional strategies to be used for the lesson plan are within the teacher’s discretion. Principals or supervisors may require that teachers include certain categories for in instructional plans (i.e., content standards, student learning outcomes, methods of assessment, learning tasks and materials, grade‐appropriate levels of texts, differentiated instructional strategies that meet the needs of the individual students in the class) but may not require a particular format or organization, except when required by accrediting agencies of particular programs that schools are implementing (e.g., International Baccalaureate). Common instructional plans for courses or subjects may be developed and used by grade bands or subject departments.

If a teacher or PSRP uses a template produced by the BOARD or a network, area or other geographic subdivision, such template shall conform to Article 44-21 to reduce the load of paperwork.

Lesson Planning. Most teachers across all subjects and school directors stated that their schools schedule time for teachers to plan lessons, implying that most schools provide time during the school day for teachers to plan and prepare their lessons while at school. The majority of schools provide between 1 and 2 hours per day for teachers to plan and prepare their lessons. Most teacher and school director respondents reported that teachers use this time to actually plan and prepare their lessons. However, close to 25% of EFL teachers and school directors and almost 30% of ULA/Math and ICT teachers reported that teachers use the lesson preparation time to do other things that are not related to lesson planning (Figure 15).

Lesson Planning. Lesson planning is a professional responsibility and expectation, since it is an essential component of providing our students with a high quality, standards-based learning experience. Staff are expected to refer to the SIP for specific guidelines on their lesson plan templates and components. Baseline expectations include: ● A plan should exist for each course, class or content area taught. ● The lesson planning process should add value to an educator's ability to deliver high quality instruction. It should not be an exercise in compliance, but rather offer sufficient preparation to provide for a strong learning experience for all students. ● The expectations established by each school should be aligned to the SIP as determined by the Instructional Leadership Team (ILT). ● Minimally, the following components should be part of a lesson plan: grade level standard, learning and language objective, description of student task/engagement, scaffolds/differentiation and formative assessment of student learning. ● ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ School uses the following lesson plan template: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Workshop Lesson Plan Template ● Lesson plans should be accessible at all times.

Lesson Planning. (a) The Board and the Union agree that effective planning is fundamental to the success of the teaching learning process. The parties agree that a joint sub-committee of the FEP will convene on or before June 30, 2006 for the specific purpose of developing a system-wide lesson plan template that will contain the required components of a standards-based lesson plan. The use of this template by teachers shall satisfy the requirements of section B, below, relating to lesson plans. The sub-committee shall consist of ten (10) members, five (5) appointed by the Superintendent and five (5) appointed by the President of the Washington Teachers’ Union. (b) Lesson plans shall be required of each teacher and such plans may be reviewed by the principal/supervisor at any time upon his/her request. It is understood that lesson plans are used as a guide to the teacher in structuring the learning experiences of pupils. The system-wide template prescribes the minimum required elements for a lesson plan. No teacher shall be required to provide more detail than that which is required in the system-wide template. However, if it is demonstrated that a teacher is in need of assistance to improve his/her teaching and it is determined that the teacher’s planning is deficient, then the supervisor may make suggestions on how planning might be improved. (c) If the immediate supervisor determines as a result of the DCPS evaluation process that a teacher is in one of these two evaluation categories, “needs improvement” or “performance is unsatisfactory”, then the supervisor/principal shall direct how planning should be improved. (d) Lesson Plans do not determine a teacher’s effectiveness; therefore, they shall not be used in isolation to determine a teacher’s effectiveness.
